A collection of ultra-minimal Docker base images for many programming languages, maintained by Iron.io. It provides tiny 'dev' images for building and even smaller runtime images for running containerized workloads.
Use cases
- find the smallest docker base image for a language
- build tiny containers for serverless workers
- reduce docker image size for CI
- run language runtimes in minimal containers
- vendor dependencies with dev images then deploy slim runtime images
When to choose
- you need minimal Docker base images for many languages
- you run container-based workers or serverless tasks and want small images
- image pull size and startup time matter
When to avoid
- you need full-featured images with shells, package managers, and debugging tools
- you need actively updated images for the latest language versions
- you prefer official language base images with broader community support
